Institutions must be authorized to deliver educational activities such as online learning, non-classroom experiences, proctoring, professional licensure, and marketing. State Authorization allows Craven Community College to provide educational services to students who live outside of North Carolina. Compliance with individual state requirements is now part of the Higher Education Opportunity Act 2008, Emended 2010. H 600.9 (c).
